Philosophy of Care

It is Dr. Fernandez y Garcia’s goal to address pediatric healthcare and health maintenance through the lens of family dynamics and cultural humility. He strives to form cooperative relationships with the parents of patients and their communities to ensure that his patient (the child) reaches his or her fullest potential.

He hopes to propagate this philosophy by teaching pediatric residents at the UC Davis General Pediatric Clinic and the Wellspace Oak Park Clinic, and UC Davis medical students in the "Transforming Education and Community Health for Medical Students" (TEACH-MS program).

He also brings this philosophy of care to his research in pediatric-based intergenerational mental healthcare.

Dr. Fernandez y Garcia is a Sacramento native who has come back to work in his community.
